[Tophe]

Before building and painting the third XP-3851, I may enrich the family with mirror copy (into symmetric derivatives);

Another mirror was the GPQ-38 unmanned glider derivative of the Lightning;

And after the triplex-boomer the twin-boomer:

And here is an update of what could be built with the remaining parts after A-3 & C-2. Only one possibility will be built:

This will be XP-3851AC-5:

The XP-3851AC-5 model from remaining parts is finished! it is strongly asymmetric, for a good operational/technical reason: fun!:

–   The prosecutor declares the trial is open!
–   Accused bad modeler Tophe, your official "forever" love towards twin-boomers has been cheated, your dirty hands and weak spirit going awfully with Asymmetry (your secret lover), this cannot be accepted!
–   uh, I am so sorry, I changed my mind and heart, back to sanity, look below the mirror repair...
–   All right, while the penalty is the same: you will be burnt alive!
–   yes, I do understand, Your Honor...

I'm no-ones master mate.

Ahem, I am not a slave respecting his commander, I am a bad modeller admiring your so much higher skills...

There was also a trainer version: XP-3851ZZ ZwiZwilling Lightning, aka ZwiZwiLightning:
